wher can i carry

[JettaKnight]

Saddle Up is a no go place.

Well yeah, but what about guns there?

A store owner that I've known for decades told me he would notice if someone was concealing a gun...
I was OCing my S&W model 19 (.357)
His jaw dropped when I pointed it out.

LOL. It is amazing how few people actually notice.

It always amazes me that a Frenchman knows more about Indiana gun laws than many Hoosiers.

I consider myself an honorary Hoosier.

You need to make it more obvious.

You need to make it more obvious.

His vision of "knowing who had a gun" was pretty shaken.
I told him everywhere he goes, it's likely someone is armed.
When he asked how long I'd carried a gun in his shop, I told him.. concealed since 1992. Open since 2012 or so.


He told me, he didn't have a problem, but if he's getting robbed, don't shoot the guy, he's probably just hungry.
I don't know if I was successful in NOT rolling my eyes.

Pretty sure there is help for people needing food.
And pretty sure if my gun comes out, it's a matter of life.

Went to pick my granddaughter a few months ago at a Carmel Middle School. I walked in, went to the office and while I was waiting for the child I realized I had a 9mm Rohrbaugh in my front pocket. Thank God there were no alarms.

When I OC'd at repeter's wedding (with his wife's consent) one of the guest muttered something about why does he need a gun HERE.
The other person responded by pointing out multiple people there that were concealing, including herself.

Hungry guy would be eating lead.

So im not sure to the areas that I cannot open carry, I know the normal bars, government buildings, but can I carry in movie theaters? is there a site where I can look up these areas? just want to make sure

Concealed means concealed.

Yes.
Never admit to breaking a law.

Statute of limitations for Level 6 felonies in Indiana is 5 years...

Give the gent a break for his hypothetical...

 

[actaeon277]

I HIGHLY recommend taking a gun law class.
I've taken two (the second was a refresher) from Guy at Tactical Firearms Training.

I won't quote him for that purpose, but the flip side of his being thankful there were no alarms is that it is just more proof that the gun free zone fallacy is just that (which we all know), and that schools need to be hardened up so they make less appealing targets for these crazy folks that like their victims served up with little/to no worry about resistance.

Find the school, find that date, find the child. Good luck!

 

[actaeon277]

Find the school, find that date, find the child. Good luck!

People here have been in court, and had their posts on INGO printed up and used as evidence.
You could take his warning about that, or you could be a smart ass.
Either way, nothing will probably happen.

Or, you might find yourself in court.

Two things to look at:
Places forbidden by federal and/or state law (Federal property per 18 USC 930), courthouses, the State Capitol and government center buildings, K-12 schools, licensed day cares, the State Fair, casinos, etc. Carrying here is a felony.

Actually if the day care is required to be licensed but isn't, it's still a no no. Carry in a "correctional facility" is also a felony, doesn't matter if you're in a secure area or just inside the front door so your local sheriff building may also be a felony.

Carry at the State Fair is not a felony or even a crime. It is just a violation of the IAC. Still not a good idea to be seen.

Actually casinos are the same with the exception of those on an Indian reservation, those might(are?) be different. State capitol I believe is the same. Courthouse except federal, maybe a local ordinance violation (infraction) or contempt of court, or perfectly legal.

One of my first (maybe first) OC interactions was at a gas station. I went in to get a pack of smokes and the cashier noticed and mildly flipped. Said no one has ever brought a gun in before. I didn't have the heart to tell her that she has seen me 3 or 4 times over the last week or so and I was always OC. I did mention how many people in IN were license to carry though, and told her it probably happened quite often.

You could point out to her that 1 in 6 Hoosiers has a LTCH.
So, no matter where she goes, with certain exceptions, she is probably near someone carrying.

Yep, I've pointed that out to numerous people.

What amazes me is that when I OC in stores, everyone stops in their tracks, freezes, and stare at me (except the one or two women or girly guys that faint) until i check out and leave.
